Since 1996 we have introduced thousands of people to sailing on tall ships and traditional vessels . Try it out for the first time, or expand your experience by choosing a different vessel or a new destination. People come for all sorts of reasons from the sheer romance of escaping to sea, meeting like minded travellers or wanting to one day own their own boat.
|
|
Classic Sailing practice what we preach with our own gaff rigged vessel 'Eve of St Mawes' based in Cornwall. With only 6 guests it is definitely ‘hands on’ sailing and full participation. The level of activity varies between tall ships, ketches and cutters as well the type of voyage. We only chose tall ships and traditional vessels with the right customer ethos where you feel part of the crew from the first day you join.

If you have always wanted to climb up the rigging on a tall ship, its not too late to try. Classic Sailing seek out voyages and tall ships races that are open to all. We have stowed sails aloft with all sorts of everyday heroes from fearless teenagers to 70 year old ex ballerinas. There is plenty to do on deck too, whether you come for a 2 day tall ship taster or apply for a tall ships race around the horn.

‘Something Different for the Weekend’ as one of our favourite travel journalists Andrew Eames describes a 3 day Classic Sailing voyage in his latest travel book.. We run plenty of ‘Is it For Me ?’ short taster voyages where the good company, freshly cooked food, fresh sea air, scenery and sailing are all important features of the voyage. You can try a short break on any of our tall ships and traditional vessels

|
Where do you want to go ? Travelling by tall ships and traditional vessels you get the freedom to anchor enables us to visit some special locations, get very close to nature and leave no trace when we leave. We can bring out the explorer in you, whether you chose little hops around the bay, epic expeditions across oceans or our favourite pastime of island hopping.

The beauty of sailing a tall ship is you can plan to go somewhere, set a challenge like crossing the equator, but you never really know what will happen each day. Who knows what images you might see, the emotions that might surface, or the life changing lessons you learn. Pretty much the same as embarking on a GAP year, travelling independently or going on an expedition. It's Exciting. Carpe Diem.

Eve of St Mawes
"Dear Adam and Debbie, thanks for the pleasure of seeing you both in your natural element. You are that rare breed of people doing the thing they thoroughly enjoy." - Bob T.
Bark Europa Cape Town to Bermuda via the Ascension Islands
Adam / Debbie,
Yes the adventure is now completed for both Janet & myself. No major problems except landing at Ascension Island in 20 foot surf eventually achieved with the use of a long jib crane and a cage. Only the 4 new crew and ourselves managed it! (That was all the required people then! Adam)
According to Janet the sailing from Ascension to Bermuda was brilliant and engine assistance was for two days only at the end of the trip.
We both fully recommend the Europa for sailing, comfort, food and experience with very professional crew.
The below deck improvements of new showers and air conditioning is the icing on the cake!
Best wishes Peter & Janet
